This year, the Cannes Film Festival celebrated a homegrown film as a French title took the top prize.

"La vie d'Adèle," known in English as "Blue Is the Warmest Color," won the Palme d'Or on Sunday as the film festival drew to a close. In addition to director Abdellatif Kechiche, stars Léa Seydoux ("Midnight in Paris"; "Inglourious Basterds") and Adèle Exarchopoulos were also honored with the prestigious Palme.
